So I turned 30 last week, which pretty much ... sucks. I remember being in high school and thinking that 30 seemed so old. Now that I am older and wiser I realize that 30 seems ... so old.

I suppose it is due in part to this depressing fact that I have started to get back into mountain biking. I say "back into" because I think there was about a two week period just after high school when I was "into it" the first time. It is fun, just dangerous enough, great exercise and I can go it alone when I want to. This is important because most of my friends have other hobbies to deal with their varying degrees of midlife crisis. 

I used to think that trading my Mustang for a Harley was my mid-midlife crisis, but now I realize that I just thought motorcycles were cool. Maybe it was a pre-mid-midlife crisis. Anyhow I have decided to sell the Harley and get a car again. Maybe a Hybrid or car that runs on tap water and banana peels (do they make those yet)?

I wonder what I will be into when I turn 40 .. sailing around the world? trying to become the world champion hot dog eater? In a mental institution from ten years of having twins (don't get me started on turning 45 and having two teenage girls)?
